Employment of migrants: current situation and challenges

According to a recent study by the European Migration Network, “The effective integration of migrants into the host society is currently a major challenge for Europe and is crucial to the successful management of migration.” According to the International Organization for Migration, more than 250 million people live in a country other than the one in which they were born, representing 3% of the human population. As of January 1, 2020, 37 million residents—whether or not they had acquired the nationality of their country of emigration—were born outside the member countries of the European Union out of a total population of 447 million, corresponding to 8.3% of the total population of the Union.

Just as much as social inclusion, economic inclusion is a crucial process for migrants: finding employment stabilizes individuals’ financial resources, but also helps them build a social identity and achieve a certain degree of autonomy in their new life. However, people of foreign origin, particularly those from developing countries, are proportionally less represented among the working population in OECD countries.

There are many obstacles that may explain this observation:

Insufficient language skills:
Social deskilling linked to the recognition of diplomas and qualifications:
Training courses that do not correspond to the specific needs of the target audience:
The intersectionality of certain migrant profiles:
Discrimination in the job market:
Ethnic stratification of the labor market:
Lack of a social and professional network in a new context:
Barriers related to the recognition of permanent residence status and difficulties related to the migration process

Together with its partners, The CISP accreditation from “Le Monde des Possibles” aims to help overcome these obstacles by developing methods tailored to adults, differentiated according to the needs of participants. These methods encourage their active participation and involvement throughout the training process. Social support and personalized educational follow-up are guaranteed throughout the program.

The social and professional integration we offer as part of the CISP can be coordinated with our programmes d’apprentissage linguistique (FLE) and formation citoyenne from our agrément d’Initiative Locale d’Intégration (ILI).

Mission and objectives

Finding quality work—empowering participants through training and internships in companies.

The Socio-Professional Integration Center for Training and Integration (DéFI) accreditation includes courses, practical exercises, and, in some cases, internships. Two main tracks are currently available: Hospi’Jobs and Redem’Arts

Hospi’jobs work on Français Langue Etrangère (FLE) focused on bio-cleaning, catering, or logistics in hospitals and nursing homes.

This training takes place in two stages:

An in-person course that combines learning French as a Foreign Language (FLE) with a focus on specific professions and the acquisition of specialized vocabulary.
An immersion stage within a hospital unit at Mont Légia CHC or Sart Tilman or a nursing home (job shadowing or tutorat), with cross-functional mediation to ensure good communication and immediate intervention in the event of an incident, in order to facilitate and streamline relations between interns and partner professionals.

Professional training/basic training

Each session is spread over 360 hours over 3 months:

Theoretical training: 60 hours
Practical training: 150 hours
Hospital internships: 120 hours
Social support: 10 hours

Redem’Arts : Redém’arts training program is designed to introduce participants to audiovisual professions and the advanced use of ADOBE digital tools through creative workshop sessions.

Organized to combine theoretical teaching with practical applications, the training program structures its mornings around the acquisition of theoretical knowledge and the collective completion of progressive exercises, which facilitates the students understanding and efficient use of digital technologies. During the afternoons, students can work semi-independently in practical workshops that complement the morning lessons, offering tailored support adapted to their learning pace.

Career guidance/Basic training

Each session lasts 360 hours spread over 3 months (12 full weeks), Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. (6 hours per day). Three sessions are organized each year:

Theoretical training: 90 hours
Practical training: 260 hours
Social support: 10 hours

Participants

A program tailored to participants’ needs

Participants are adults seeking employment, whether they have qualifications or not.

Le soutien juridique, in particular for the regularization of the administrative status of participants, is available.

Please note that these training courses are exclusively for people registered with the FOREM

Hospi’jobs is aimed at adult job seekers, both native and foreign-born, with a partial command of the French language. These modules aim to improve their vocabulary and language skills, particularly for jobs in bio-cleaning, catering, and logistics in hospitals, as well as soft skills.

« Each participant receives personalized support, including practical internships in a hospital setting. »

Training Redem’Arts is aimed at people without training, who are unemployed or long-term job seekers, as well as those who find it difficult to follow traditional socio-professional inclusion training courses.

Among the difficulties addressed by Redem’Arts are problems related to traditional forms of learning. These include reading, writing, transmissive knowledge, expository methods, and fixed, repetitive learning environments. Traditional teaching methods are not always suitable for everyone, so Redem’Arts offers alternative, more flexible approaches to meet these specific needs.

Finally, Redem’Arts supports participants who may have significant concerns such as homelessness, lack of financial means to meet basic needs, demotivation, as well as legal or administrative problems.

Activities offered

A comprehensive and personalized training program

The support programs include theoretical training modules, practical workshops, and internships to facilitate the application of acquired skills in a real-world context. These activities are structured to meet the specific needs of each participant, taking into account their starting level and personal goals.

The educational program at the Center for Socio-Professional Integration (CISP) is structured in several stages for both the Hospi’jobs and Redem’Arts courses.

These stages include reception and reorientation, signing an educational contract, an initial assessment, individual preparation and training, educational monitoring, social support, internships, evaluation, post-training project, issuance of a certificate of completion, partnerships, and dissemination of results.

Hospi’jobs

The program introduces and develops an intercultural approach, with participants discovering the hospital environment through visits to departments in Liège hospitals, such as the CHU de Liège, le CHC MontLégia Liège et l’UCP (Unité Centrale de Production). These visits facilitate relationships and networking between interns and professionals.

Former interns share their experiences and career paths with new groups, offering advice on overcoming obstacles and moving forward.

For more details, you can consult the fiche FOREM de Hospi’jobs.

Redem’Arts

Redem’Arts supports people with no training, those who are unemployed or long-term job seekers, as well as those who have difficulty following traditional socio-professional inclusion training programs. The program is divided into two sections: Computer Graphics and Photography.

Computer Graphics Section : Participants learn how to optimize visuals for various publications, perform digital enhancements and color corrections, retouch images, and create photomontages. They acquire skills in image colorization, preparing visuals for the web and print, creating graphics, and laying out multi-page documents. Students also learn how to create animated content for the web and mobile devices, as well as video editing.
Photography Section : Participants are trained to produce images that meet commercial and technical requirements, apply concepts of framing, lighting, and depth of field, and reflect artistic culture and sensibility. They use all aspects of photography, from preparation (location scouting, equipment and personnel management) to digital photography.

For more details, you can consult the fiche FOREM de Redem’Arts

CISP participants receive comprehensive support that goes beyond professional training and can also include modules on Formation à l’Intégration Citoyenne (FIC) and d’Orientation Citoyenne (AOC), as well as learning about français langue étrangère (FLE).

Example of a project carried out by Redem’arts trainees. The short film “C’est quoi ton problème?” (What’s your problem?) was made by students on the Redem’arts training course. Based on real-life situations, either as victims or witnesses, the group collectively wrote a script to raise awareness of everyday racism. The film was screened at the Festival du Film Sauvage in Liège and received the award from the ” Régies de quartiers de Liège” platform.

Funding and resources

A program tailored to participants’ needs

We are among the 151 organizations recognized by the Regional Minister of Employment.

Accreditation as a socio-professional integration center (CISP) entitles the center to financial support from Wallonie in the form of an operating subsidy.

The approved CISP receives a subsidy calculated by multiplying the number of approved hours by a single hourly rate. In 2024, this hourly rate is set at €19.13.

From 2023, the euro per trainee hour will increase to €2 per hour of training. This subsidy is managed exclusively by FOREM.

Interns receive a gross hourly allowance of €2, with the possibility of assistance with travel and childcare expenses. See also:

Impact

Support tailored to each individual

From Hospi’jobs

Among the expected outcomes, participants improve their oral and written French language skills, learn to understand how hospital services work, and learn to perform related tasks. They also learn how to fill out forms, write documents, and develop their knowledge of mathematics and computer science, as well as understand how hospitals and nursing homes operate.

Each participant receives individualized support, documented in a logbook and portfolio. These tools enable progress and achievements to be tracked throughout the training program. An evaluation form and career plan assessment are also completed for each trainee.

Internships are formalized by an internship agreement, and each internship is evaluated to verify that educational objectives have been met. At the end of the program, participants receive a certificate of participation, certifying their commitment and the skills they have acquired.
